You can feel confident about a company that has been in business for thirty-eight years and whose company’s founders were the ones instrumental in creating the designs for and then in the development of the original aftermarket performance air intake systems as well as aftermarket performance throttles for the 5.0L Mustang and TPI Camaro. This was accomplished even before anyone was familiar with air intakes and throttle bodies so you can see how impressive this feat was-new needs for the new fuel injected ponies. I am sure you will agree that is an outstanding history and one a company can be proud of, but they didn’t stop there and went on to accomplish even more. BBK does not just rest on their laurels but continues to change with the times and the computer demanding era yet they continue to draw on the knowledge and experience they gained at the onset of the company and, consequently have been able to pull from their past experience with carbureted equipped cars to create the products they do today. As a testament to their success they are the topmost wellspring of today’s modern performance parts and have seen the company grow from being housed in a 1200 foot building to 200,000 ft. They now have a facility in California and Florida and both are cutting edge in all aspects of production including art design, manufacturing and distribution with a research and development center featuring three dyno cells and an a team of impressively skilled craftsmen. BBK has not neglected the manufacturing aspect of their product and provides an inimitable CNC machine department and exhaust department to assure only the best quality CNC bending and robotic welding for your BBK parts. Their pride in the production of each and every product is what makes their story a success and why you can be assured of quality and satisfaction when you choose an aftermarket performance part designed and manufactured by BBK.

BBK Brand Review(s):

By: SS demonOwnership: 1 month - 1 yearHeader install was a breeze, took 2.5 hrs with a lift. No fitment issues, everything went on perfectly. However these headers are already rusted in 7 months, disappointed when going to car shows. Couldn't beat the price, probably will spring for stainless works headers and jet hot them on the next go around.
Also get O2 extensions with inserts and you won't have check engine light problems, headers have been on for 8th with no drivable issues.

By: ScottOwnership: 1 week - 1 monthWow...I guess there is a reason they are so reasonably priced. Fit is awesome. Fabrication and finish are horrible. There was absolutely no attempt on the factory's part to clean up welds, or finish pipes before chroming. Every scratch, ding, divot were left and chromed. Chrome is inconsistent. I had to re-tap the heat riser threads before the bolts would go in. Lots of fun after the headers are installed. I actually thought about buying these for my 2003 Vette, but have reconsidered.

By: Demon HawkOwnership: 1 month - 1 yearI found this product to be a very easy install taking a total of 3.5hrs with a lift. The headers came with all new header bolts which was also very helpful. I also installed extensions with inserts for the rear O2 sensors to keep the vehicle from running too lean and causing a CEL. So far after 3,000 miles no CEL and vehicle runs great, sounds great.
Totally recommend these Headers to anyone.

Current Mods:BBK longtube headers with Cats, Stainless works Muffler Deletes.

By: JPOwnership: 1 day - 1 weekThe bbk long tubes fit perfect. You couldn''t ask for anything better. They look good and put out an excellent sound. Not sure what the dyno proven results will be yet, but will soon. Im sure it will be something great. The y pipe fit okay, but didn''t exactly reach to my existing cat-back which is a magnaflow. This usually happens mixing two different things together. I had to weld the y-pipe to that part of it. It wasn''t a big deal for me. Just a heads up for someone for future reference. With all that being said I would still give bbk a 10 out of 10 for these headers and y-pipe.

By: MyP71VicOwnership: 1 week - 1 monthI actually installed this on my 2000 Crown Vic Police Interceptor which has the same 4.6L and it is awsome! The installation was a breeze just had to mess with the air tube to make it fit but it really does give a nice airflow and boost the power a decent amount!

By: Rev HardOwnership: 1 week - 1 monthThis BBK Air Induction kit is Awsome!
It comes complete with every thing you need (EXCEPT) The MAS Air Housing & Sensor, For the Price of this Prodcut I would have to say I should have Bought it Years ago.
The only hard part of installing it was getting the Evac system removed from under the finder so place the Air Filter were it need to be. Thanks BBK

Current Mods:This was the first Mod. I have installed the Cobra was all Original until now

By: skippy.Ownership: 1 week - 1 monthI have had the tb on for over a week now and let me tell you guys wow! The horse power is defiantly there. The but-o-meter is happy. My 5th gear went from 50 to 65mph, to 60 to 90 mph. 4th went from 40 to 55, to 50 to 65! I installed it myself took some man handling but it fits like a glove. gasket seals perfect no problems. I made a picture clip and video of it going on. Love this product!

By: AnonymousOwnership: 1 day - 1 weekOK as promised, I'm posting again after the install. I put these headers on this weekend with the rest of my exhaust system, and they are great! Perfect fit, AMAZING SOUND and the chrome looks great in the engine bay. I had no problems installing the headers, and they came with all installation hardware needed (bolts and gaskets). I also bought a can of white High Temp paint and coated the inside of the headers to prevent the chrome from the "rainbow" effect from the heat. My sister did that on the headers on her 69 camaro, and it works like a charm. I am more than satisfied with this product and the service I received from LMperformance. Thanks!!!

By: AnonymousOwnership: 1 day - 1 weekI ordered these headers along with the rest of my exhaust parts to put a complete dual exhaust system on my 99 v6. I got the parts in a timely fashion without any problems. Thanks for the quick shipping. Everything i need for the installation is in the package (new header gaskets, new bolts to bolt the headers on and new studs to connect the exhaust pipes). I'll be installing these headers this weekend along with a pypes catted x-pipe and flowmaster catback, and I can't wait to hear how it sounds. I'll post again after the install.

By: JJOwnership: 0 - 1 dayi have purchased this intake with hopes that everything is going to go smooth. Well it didn''t the intake does not fit properly, it''s to big therefore the hood does not close properly, basically it''s over sized. i do not recommand anyone buying this item it just does not fit properlly, very poor design. I have returned it

By: JET PILOTOwnership: more than 1 yearlooks great under the hood, never any probs with coming loose or anything, but was expecting more of a change in sound, although very little change, a bit more torque but not to much, overall its ok but i shouldve went with long tubes, sorry guys

By: Paul TOwnership: 1 day - 1 weekThe kit works well and looks good. However, the factory belts do not fit like the company claims. Smaller belts are required. Might as well go for a slightly cheaper brand because you will need to buy new belts anyway.
